Class History In 1946, we started this adventure With 19 pupils we played and fought, Our teacher ruling was Mrs. Schaadt. Gaining 9 and losing 4 23 pupils went in the door Of the Znd grade, with the same teacher as before. In the third grade there were 21 Gaining 4 and losing 6 Mrs. Moser kept the order And with us 'twas quite a trick. Losing 5 and gaining l Left us with 17 As we entered the grade of 4 With the same teacher as before. Passing on to grade number 5, We left our ruling queen, Our Monarch changed, Mr. Rupp now ruled supreme, Losing 3 and gaining l We now only totaled 15. As on to the 6th grade we go, Mr. Kisor was head of the show. We lost Z and gained 2 So the total was not new. The thought of 7th grade gave us a scare For we were advancing up the stairs. Mr. Hitchcock was our sponsor, friend, And has bravely stayed on to the end. We gained Jerry Yoder and Gary Spice, Lost Donald Dues, class increased l in size. We left the 7th grade 16 strong, But this did not remain for long, We lost a few, Jerry Yoder, Katharine Boroff, and Gary Spice, But gained Robert Taylor, Merlin Wolfe, Mary Iane Winners, Larry Campbell, Sharon Myers and Darrell Grice The next year, Freshmen, and lots of fun, Beginning with the initiation. That year we lost Merlin Wolfe and Robert Taylor, But gained Willard Merkle and Ioan Mauller, Leaving our class no bigger, no smaller. As sophomores, we were sure we knew plenty. The size of our class went up to 20 For Larries Workinger and Whittenbarger, we got, While Larry Campbell left our lot. The following year, we were upperclassmen. The total in the class stayed the same Although Larry Workinger we lost and Max Kochensparger we gained. There were 2 great events, we state without pardon, Our play Boardinghouse Reach was one of these, The other was our prom, Oriental Gardens With these, we were very pleased. Then, lo and behold, our Senior year came, We lost Mary Iane Winners, and had no gain, Which leaves 19 to graduate In the very best class of '58.

I953 Class Prophecy It was the year 1968. It was a cold, miserable, rainy day and the weather caught me unprepared. I was dodging in and out along the city streets of Wren, trying to make an appointment on time, when suddenly a low, gruff voice behind me said, Keep moving, I've got you covered. Glancing back shakily, I found myself looking into the warm smile of Dog Sheets. Beside him was his lovely wife, Sharon, holding an umbrella over my head. She told me that Doyt was now the chief engineer for a large construction company. They then asked me out to lunch. We ate at a restaurant called Tommy's owned by Tommy Weaver. As I gazed around the room Irecognized Mr. and Mrs. Felix Salazar. Mrs. Salazar was the former Mylna Myers. She told me that besides being a housewife, she is rearing four kids. Her husband is a four star general of the National Guard. They then informed me that Darla Gehres a famous artist, is painting a portrait of the president, Lee Stewart. It seems like Lee had a change of heart in the last few years and was elected on the Republican ticket. Inquiring further about the whereabouts of the Class of '58, 'I learned that Rex Miller is now president of a huge corporation and his capable executive sec- retary is none other than Kay Zinn. It seems that Sharon Myers is head bookkeep er for the very prosperous Larry Vxfhittenbarger who owns a junk yard and used car lot, also that loan Mauller has changed her last name to Giessler and has settled down to raising their family. Chatting about old times, Doyt and Sharon told me that Willard Merkle was now making millions in the wrestling profession and that his manager was our old classmate Bob Bowen. Th ey told me that Ann Myers gave up college after one year to marry a boy from Rockford. Our giggling waitress, -lgrbara Hirschy, brought us our turtle soup raised on Myrtle's Turtle Farm owned by Earl Miller, and she told us that the chief die- tician in the restaurant was Pauline Lichtensteiger. Suddenly realizing that my time was limited, I excused myself and ran across the street without bothering to go to the corner. At that very moment around the corner sped a policeman on a motorcycle. As he started to write out my jaywalk- ing ticket, I noticed that he was no other than Max Kochensparger. When he re- alized that I was his former classmate, he tore up the ticket and I hurried on my way. It had, indeed, been an interesting and enlightening hour. I was happy to learn that my former classmates were doing so well and I hope that they may con- tinue to prosper and enjoy good health. CLASS OF 1958
